Trimethylamine N-oxide dihydrate (Cat No.:R055871) is an organic osmolyte widely studied in biomedical and biochemical research. It stabilizes protein structure by counteracting denaturing forces, making it valuable in protein folding studies and structural biology. TMAO plays an important role in cellular stress responses in marine organisms, particularly as a protective molecule against urea and hydrostatic pressure. In human health, elevated TMAO levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, making it a biomarker of interest in clinical research on gut microbiota–derived metabolites.
